Marsh Silhouettes

We're using a new technique

with inks, stencils, and water at the

MFP Stamp Shop/SFF challenge this week.

We have a tutorial that you can follow here.

Every stencil will create a subtle and different effect,

but you are sure to like each one.

You could almost call it "selective blurring."
I have a stack of bg's done now, ready for 
a wonderful MFP silhouette image.
I chose Marsh Silhouettes for my image
and sentiment for this particular one.

Let's Go Trick or Treating!

Thanks for stopping by A Fourth Life so I can share some Halloween cards

using a darling Just for Fun Stamps silhouette image called 

C346 Trick or Treaters as my focal point. 

Where we live in the mountains, we don't get cute, little munchkins

holding bags and proudly displaying their costumes.

So when I saw this silhouette image, I knew

it would find a home at my house.

The cards started with designer paper, a tree die cut, and a moon silhouette idea.

I ended up with two cards with the same layout because I liked parts of both.

And wasn't it great that my new alphabet dies came just in time!

You can let me know which of the cards you like best.

And card two...

Thanks for stopping by to see my spooky creation!
